dramatispersonae

You can see the other teams, but there is an invisible barrier preventing you from hearing them. You can assume that they can't hear you, either. There is a hefty serving of sweet wine and liquor, should you choose it. With a loaf of bread that you can slice. Nimue is in the center of the formation of teams, and when she speaks, you can hear her loud and clear.

"Storytelling has been a tradition of the knights of Camelot for some time. They would tell of the awesome feats of their king, and of their fellow knights... and... they were also prone to exaggeration in some cases."

There appears a small set of cards next to the liquor. You can read them, or you can implicitly understand them if you can't read.

"What feats have the heroes of Aather accomplished, I wonder? And what... exaggerations they may take? Before you, you will find prompts for your tales. You will write one for yourselves, for a set of knights, and for another team. I will select the most inspiring, as will your peers."

She tilts her head. "Ah, perhaps it is bad to encourage grandstanding..."

But before you can ask her, she vanishes.

A trickster.

Though I don't know that we have one of those on Ruby...

[tilts her head]

One of the Personae?

Who's extra tricky?

I don't know... They're the closest thing this world has to gods, though. It seems like one or two of them must gravitate to that sort of thing...

Bob is a jerk. . . he's the cat. He might be too lazy for real tricks, though.

Oh, I have heard of the cat. The holes?

That's him.

...He might do...

We could also make the Jabberwock do it. He could use some hiccups.

I do not think the Jabberwock is that funny.

Probably not smart enough, either!

So the cat holds a town under siege with the hiccups, and Ruby bravely comes to their rescue... more or less.

[at least... two... or three of us would do that]
